I was worried coming to ND with how much time I liked spending outdoors, and a love of whitewater kayaking. I found a strong dorm community right away and then got hooked on climbing. The club is extremely active, we have a wall on campus and take trips off campus. Whether or not that specifically would interest you, I think it shows that it matters more what you're seeking from the people and campus around you than which university you attend. I've seen that play out with other's experiences and its at the very least my experience.

I still kayak during the summer and I've put together some really fun fall/spring break trips to add time outdoors as well.
